...all of my life until the car accident. Now this.
I have to say something about it. Can't just let this one cross my desk without grabbing it for a moment.
Invisible Disabilities Association. I hope everyone realizes that we are alone in our illness, but together we are strong. We are amazing. We are Warriors and Survivors on another land. The land is still called Earth. But we are amongst them on Earth, but not yet with them in their minds.
It is easier to stop now and skip to something else. The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to gather together under this 'Umbrella' that has been waiting for Us...for 14 years!!!! Hat's off to you, Wayne and Sherri Connell, who started IDA in an effort to education their own family and friends.
Like an Angel is Sitting on Your Shoulder.....
that is how I view IDA.
We should go there now, in never-before seen numbers. I know there are at least 100,000 people out there that could go join IDA today. Whoosh!
Whoosh!

ReplyDeleteIt was invisible to her doctors
But it was there lurking inside her body
Making her uncomfortable
It could happen to anyone,
Just like you or me
UTI often goes unnoticed
Urinary tract infection, to be precise
Causing other serious problems too
Just another Invisible Illness, again
Leading to depression
Lack of water leads to dehydration
Leads to infection preventing you from urinating preventing you from flushing toxins out your body where
Bacteria can build up and remain
Think water I’m under your spell
Your power, yes you’re my wishing well
We have all heard about it from Granny
Cranberry, but not the cocktail types,
They don’t cut ice
They are full of unbeneficial sugars, and
High fructose corn syrup that will do you no good. 100 percent pure unsweetened cranberry juice is best, though may not taste like paradise. But if you don’t like the taste,
You can always go down town
Get cranberry capsules
From a reputable chemist
There are of course friendly bacteria
Probiotics, which are like soldiers fighting for your body. Fighting off bacteria, fighting off infection. But have you ever heard of Lreuteri? It’s very good for urinary tract infection
So while at the chemist pick some up
Celery and parsley juice too
These juices work as a diuretic
Flushing out those bacteria
And things out of the bladder
Relieving the symptoms of urgency
Characteristic of urinary tract infections
You can buy them or make your own
With a juicer; or swipe it from Woollies
It’s only couple of quid a tin
II Captain, said Bones,
You could also try Pyridium for pain
